I'd buy that. Honestly though I want Revan to be alive still. I realize it would deify him to the point of ridiculous but he deserves a better ending to his story than this.

I totally agree, Revan does deserve a better ending.

Frankly, I think he should have died at the end of the novel Revan, because he really contributes nothing to TOR besides to be the boss at the end of a flashpoint. Bioware's attempts to shoehorn Revan into TOR as a result of their hero worship of him is precisely why he has a bad ending.

Otherwise, if he's so awesome, just have him kill the Sith Emperor in the novel and don't make TOR. Revan had his great ending at the end of KOTOR, they didn't need to keep at it because unless the player character is Revan again, having him be the hero is pointless. I'm actually glad that TOR didn't copy WoW, and just when you're about to kill the Sith Emperor, Revan appears and kills him instead, so after you do all the hard work you don't actually do anything.

I mean, look at The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The protagonist is the Nerevarine, and in the two sequels, Oblivion and Skyrim, there's a mention that after Morrowind, the Nerevarine led an expedition to Akavir, another continent, but hasn't been heard from since. I don't see the issue with Revan's fate just being completely ambiguous. The man saved the Galactic Republic after nearly destroying it at the behest of the Sith, and then disappeared in the Unknown Regions. We can conclude anything we want about his fate. But Star Wars fans won't let Star Wars ever operate like that.

I'd concede that. He was definitely forced into TOR. It could have been a phenomenal game without him, there was no need for his inclusion and especially for how tacked on it felt.

It's kind of hard to tell, but I've seen a Republic video where he's killed, so I'm presuming he is dead, proper.

Sorry to jump in late but...

This is Star Wars, no one is ever dead, proper

But I haven't played TOR, and most probably never will (price), but is this

flash of light death/disappearance in TOR or somewhere else?

Heck, what they should have done is simply made KOTOR 3, had The Jedi Exile either fight or rescue Revan at the end of the game. Then move on to TOR. Just IMO.

You're right.

Seems to me the've put Revan in TOR now only to give players the sense of being very powerfull. I mean like,"Hey if I can take out Revan, who can ever defeat me?"

If they hadn't include Revan in the TOR the fans would rage even more. It was basically lose - lose scenario for Biowere imo.

I've said it before, I'll say it again-KOTOR 3 then on to TOR would have been a better idea.

So, since Revan is still alive(in-game) I'm guessing he was in some kind of time suspention prison. No jedi or sith can live THAT long.

Check out the book The Old Republic: Revan. It explains why he is still alive in-game and who the ghost woman is and such._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Sadly, TOR is all we're getting.

Yep, unless they do what they did with the Batman movies. Which was re-starting the whole thing.
